I set DISPLAY on my Cygwin to localhost:0.0 which does indeed allow me to start XTerm. I do an ssh -X (and I tried -Y as well) but DISPLAY is still not set on the FreeBSD end. I have now tried manually setting DISPLAY to (localhost:0.0, localhost:10.0, ip:0.0, ip:10.0) on the FreeBSD end and still nothing is working. If I use ip:0.0 I get some router traffic, but nothing actually happens and then it just stops trying saying it could not open the display. My XServer is indeed running (XWin -ac -multiwindow) as I can connect via a local CoLinux install just fine. -- Aaron Dalton | Super Duper Games aaron@daltons.ca | http://superdupergames.org
